Evolve

Brian Egan and Adam Sherry founded Evolve in 2011 to manage vacation rentals and enhance guest experiences across North America. We work to simplify the vacation rental process for owners, guests, and service partners.

For owners, we provide support, marketing, and expertise to help manage and grow their businesses. Our services come with a low fee and no long-term commitment. For guests, we offer access to vetted homes, booking support, and our “Rest Easy Guarantee” to ensure satisfaction. We also partner with professional photographers and cleaning teams, creating business growth opportunities while supporting both guests and owners.

Evolve manages tens of thousands of properties. We’ve hosted over 16 million guests, generating more than $3 billion in rental income with an average guest review of 4.8 stars.

Our mission is to make vacation rentals easy for everyone. We believe our approach to hospitality goes beyond basic services. We emphasize empathy and inclusion in every interaction, building a supportive system and empowering individuals.

“Care” is a core value at Evolve, guiding our actions, diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging (DEIB) practices, and our openness to new experiences. We foster a culture of collaboration, care, and responsibility that guides how we interact with customers and each other.

We have between 501 and 1000 employees. Our hybrid workforce includes people at our Denver headquarters and remote coworkers across the country.

We cultivate a customer-obsessed, high-performing culture. We see culture as deeply connected to business performance, influencing our actions and conversations. We are committed to diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging. Our DEIB practices include several Evolver Resource Groups (ERGs) like ASPIRE, B.A.E., H.E.R., PaCT, Mental Floss, Mi Gente, Neurodynamic, Rainbow Vision, and S.H.I.E.L.D. These groups provide spaces for connection, shared experiences, and a sense of belonging.

Through programs like Evolve.org, we encourage employees to volunteer in their communities. Evolve has appeared on “Best Places to Work” lists in 2023, 2021, and 2020, and was named one of the Largest Denver-Area Tech Employers in 2021.

We offer a comprehensive benefits package designed for flexibility, usability, and affordability.

Our financial wellness benefits include competitive pay, equity in the company, and a 401(k) with a 4% immediate vesting match. For family support, we provide 16-18 weeks of paid parental leave for birthing parents and 10 weeks for non-birthing parents, plus infertility coverage.

Our health and wellness offerings include comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans (100% employer-paid for individual enrollment), 10 free mental health visits, and pet insurance. Employees get generous Paid Time Off (PTO), Responsible Time Off (RTO) for full-time exempt employees, sick leave, holidays, and a personal holiday.

We support work flexibility, allowing employees to work from home, our downtown Denver headquarters, or a hybrid arrangement. Travel perks include an annual Evolve travel credit after one year and discounts on stays at all Evolve properties. We also support growth with robust onboarding programs and learning and development resources, and we foster connection through our Evolver Resource Groups.
